Belgians premature

1296

The Belgian league put the cat amongst the waffles yesterday by declaring the Jupiler League over and Bruges champions.  They sorted out their TV and other commercial arrangements and can start next season as soon as it is safe to do so.

There are very few calls to cut seasons short.  Tight leagues, such as in Italy and Spain, would forever  have questions hanging over them, while those assured of winning the title, as in Scotland and England, want to do so on the field, not at a league meeting.  Still, it was nice to see panic among the Null and Voiders, who would rather everyone lost than anyone (Celtic) won.

The Belgians have been pragmatic but premature, football is finished for the season, their champions are assured without controversy and they will accommodate those threatened with relegation.  The rest of Europe still clings to the hope that competition can start behind closed doors in the summer.  It will next month before we know if this is possible, there is no reason to make decisions before then.

    Fairhill Bhoy,

     

     

    mind having a fair few good games against Fairhill amateurs back in the late 90s early 2000’s.

     

     

    Did you play with them? Around then?

     

     

    HAIL! HAIL!

  12. So it wasn’t Freddie Ljungberg after all. Mind you, it wasn’t Tony Watt either – I just associate him with ‘that’ strip…

  13. Gutenburg

     

    I am with you,

     

    if needed increase the division and play each other home and away,

     

    would do away with the ridiculous split.

  14. The Token Tim on

    SFTB,

     

     

    firstly how are you my ole son?

     

     

    Secondly, the bold Lee knew how to send in a very high ball to the back post…..that often went waaaay behind and past the back post.

    You mind BRTH will be on at 22:30…just saying…:)

     

    Keep the Faith!

     

    Hail Hail!

    Keeping fine in this extended home break.

     

     

    I have often advocated that Celtic needed a late and wide runner beyond the back stick. Izzy was guilty of over-pumping it too, but, for Lee Naylor, you might have needed someone standing at the corner flag to get on the end of some of his.

    SFTB,

     

     

    glad to hear it. Been a good while now since last spoke.

     

     

    And you are not far wrong with the corner flag with Lee :-)

     

    And the late run to the back post from wide right was something i agree 100% with you on. Happened so often with Izzy as you say
